I'll have to try that little trick with the hose spring. Pretty neat! I bought mine at Pep Boys. That was a while ago (when they had decent sales help). I don't think they still stock this item. =20 Mark S. Subject: [FlyRotary] Oil drain plug Try these: http://www.fumotousa.com/main.htm Look at the note to "safety wire" the lever using hose spring. To use a hose see the N series. =20 Jim Brewer
